Eye Recommend - Mitt Romney's Version of Equal Rights

MITT ROMNEY'S VERSION OF EQUAL RIGHTS, New York Times editorial --- I know this is a little stale, but it is a good summary of Mitt's take on equality for women...obviously a subject I think is one of the most important in this election.  In trying to show how well he treated his female employees, he told how he allowed them to go home to cook dinner.  This did not make my heart go pitty-pat.

"Flexibility is a good policy. But what if a woman had wanted to go home to study Spanish? Or rebuild an old car? Or spend time with her lesbian partner? Would Mr. Romney have been flexible about that? Or if a man wanted similar treatment?

True equality is not satisfied by allowing the little lady to go home early and tend to her children."
